Anyone know what this says? Green Tea? Some other tea? I was given this and was told it was green tea?

Thank you for the responces. I'm adding another pic with more kanji, maybe this will include the type of tea it is. The reason I ask the question is that this smells like no tea I've had before (and I've had different types of green tea). I almost wonder if they have mixed the tea with another herb. Anyways...here is the kanji from the side of the bag:

Answer 1

The first picture says "It was packed at the place where it was picked", which means packed soon after picked.

The second picture says like this,

We use a special package to keep the real flavor and scent of green tea, which has the function of moisture-proof, flavor-retention and light shielding. Please consume it as soon as possible after opening the pack.

Fresh and superior green tea has very good flavor. I like it. I think you probably bought a good one.

Answer 2

That writing doesn't say green tea - there is no word for 'tea' (usually 'cha') in the writing in the picture. It looks like the place of origin and/or company name.

Green tea is from the same plant (the same family as roses) as black tea, only fresher! Green tea blackened and shrivelled on it's long sea voyages from China to England.

In Taiwan, green tea is highly revered & usually extremely expensive, and is valued for it's medicinal properties. The reality is that back in the old days it was the boiling of the water that killed off any germs, thus making it 'safe' to drink, not the tea itself. In Europe, they killed off germs by fermenting the water into beer.

Answer 3

Looks like Green Tea to me.

Answer 4

no, it doesn't say green tea. It really means a plantation of something (i can't understand the last character).

Answer 5

They are Japanese kanji that mean "packed in the place of production".
